Tip: In Guangzhou, the translation forms of street
names are not the same. Sometimes, you may find the street name is written in
Pinyin but sometimes you can see the English name. It would be very complicated
for the overseas tourists to understand. However, Guangzhou is doing the best to unify the
translation forms of the street names. They will use the form of 'Chinese
characters + English translation' to show the street names. For example, Liwan
Lu will be written as Liwan Road.
'Lu' and 'jie' mean 'road' or 'street’; 'dadao' means 'avenue' or 'boulevard'.

Furthermore, now Yang Cheng Tong is not
only can use in Guangzhou City, but can also use in other cities in Guangdong,
such as Foshan, Zhonshan, Jianmen, Zhaoqing… So, if you visit Guangzhou frequently or stay in Guangzhou for some time, to have a Yang Cheng Tong will be convenient. (Yang Cheng Tong
can also used in Railway, and buy in some shops.)
